SAS® Optimization

SAS Optimization, which runs on SAS® Viya®,
provides a means to access the LP, MILP, network, and QP optimization solvers from clients other than SAS
(Python, Lua, Java, and R). It also provides a programming entry point for optimization professionals, more general analysts, and
data scientists. SAS Optimization leverages the speed, scalability, and elasticity of the SAS in-memory environment.
SAS Optimization includes SAS/OR®.

The connected components algorithm in the network solver adds support for the thin internal graph format.

The LSO (local search optimization) solver is added and is called by PROC OPTMODEL.

PROC CLP (constraint logic programming) is added, with a solution algorithm that runs on CAS on a single node or distributed on multiple nodes.

The optimization action set adds two actions, loadMps and convertMps, that help convert an .mps file on the client to a CAS table that can be accepted as input by PROC OPTLP and PROC OPTMILP
in SAS Optimization.
